The Confederation of Latin America is a multi-national confederation of nation states. It is located mainly in South America. As of 1943, it has 10 constituent nations: Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Uruguay, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. The nation is very prosperous and has the second largest economy in the Americas, outperformed only by the powerful American economy. Out of all the members, Argentina is generally seen as the leading member given that their economy alone is the third largest in the Americas(including the CoLA). However, all members are equal in terms of legislative and executive representation.

Government

The Latin American government has three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.

Executive

The executive office of Latin America is that of the Director. A director is elected by popular vote in their home state. For each state there is one director, meaning that there are five directors total. A director governs his/her state as a president would, but consults his/her fellow directors for national decisions. Included in this branch is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister behaves more like the US Secretary of State and is the nation's top diplomat. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Directors based on a 3/5 majority. If one is not reached, the House of Representatives votes between the candidates being considered.

Legislative

The legislative branch of Latin America is a bicameral Congress. The lower house is known as the House of Representatives while the upper house is known as El Senado(the Senate). Congress has the ability to declare war, print money, enact laws, etc. They also have the sole power to impeach a Director or override their decisions. The HoR is made up of 100 elected representatives from each state(500 total representatives, with the Prime Minister as an additional voting member in case of a tie). The Senate is made up of 20 Senators from each state(once again the PM is an additional voting member in case of a tie).

Judicial

The judicial system is made up of lower courts and the Supreme Court of Latin America. It behaves exactly like the US system does.
